W. J. Farrier & Son is a family-owned funeral director founded in 1948 by Walter (Jack) Farrier and his wife Olive, now run by the third generation of the family - James Farrier, Lynda Bright, Sarah Hignett and Julie Farrier - following on from second-generation owners Derek and Lynda. Serving Hythe from The Island alongside sister branches in Dover (head office, London Road) and Folkestone (Bouverie Road West), the firm bills itself as the longest-serving family funeral director in the Dover, Folkestone and Hythe area, with coverage extending to Dymchurch, New Romney, Capel-le-Ferne, Hawkinge, Aylesham, Canterbury and Ashford.
It is accredited by both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and SAIF, offers Golden Charter pre-paid funeral plans, and provides burial, cremation and direct cremation services alongside repatriation and a choice of coffins and caskets, maintaining its own fleet of funeral vehicles. The family sums up its approach with the motto 'When you need us, we'll be there', reflecting its commitment to an uncompromised level of professionalism, care and support.
